EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures a moment in history from circa 1805, where a street vendor is seen selling dead rabbits to the residents of Portland Place in London. The image offers a glimpse into the trade and commerce of that era, showcasing how food was bought and sold on the bustling streets of the city. The vendor stands proudly next to his pole display, offering up his wares to passersby. His expression is one of determination and perhaps even pride in his ability to provide for himself and others through this trade. The sight of dead rabbits being sold may seem shocking by today's standards, but it was likely a common practice at the time. This photograph serves as a reminder of the historical significance of street trades and vendors in shaping urban life during this period. It also sheds light on the culinary preferences and dietary habits of Londoners from over two centuries ago. As we reflect on this snapshot from the past, we are reminded that every object has a story to tell – even something as seemingly mundane as a street vendor selling dead rabbits can offer valuable insights into our shared history.
